’The first follower is what turns a lone nut into a leader’ ~ Derek Sivers (how to start a movement) http://bit.ly/bxwYJy

Movements are critical to Christian ministry.  Theologically we can trace this  back to the central importance of relationship in God’s economy for the world (we are created in the image of God who is a relationship of three persons). Of course the ministry of Jesus illustrates this truth more clearly than any sermon ever could.  The carpenter from Nazareth who dies a premature death in the prime of his life starts a movement that transforms all of society from that moment onward.

Perhaps one of the great problems with contemporary ministry is that we have too many leaders and not enough ’first followers’.
